LITERATURE
brewing
-
beta-amylase allelic forms have different thermostability and kinetic properties, which critically influence their malting quality, production of barley varieties with better malting quality by genetic engineering
industry
molecular biology
-
usage of beta-amylase phylogenetic signal to reconstruct the evolutionary history of the Pooid grasses. Phylogenetic relationships of 37 grass species (26% of the sampled species) highlight the frequent occurrence of non-treelike evolutionary events, so this LCNG should be used with caution as a phylogenetic marker
